From waste to biomethane: technology, data, and stable returns

Modern BPS assets are no longer “just power generators.” They operate as smart energy hubs combining CHP, biogas upgrading to biomethane, storage, and real-time operations control. The result? Higher efficiency, lower emissions, and more predictable cash flows.

• Feedstock pretreatment & fermentation Stable digesters, controlled dosing, compliant hygiene. Focus on substrate quality and balanced feedstock recipes.
• CHP (combined heat and power) Maximise on-site energy use. Heat for site/community, electricity to the grid or self-consumption.
• Biogas upgrading to biomethane Membranes/PSA/amine scrubbing to remove CO₂ → biomethane at natural-gas quality for grid injection or bioCNG/LNG.
• CO₂ capture & utilisation Food, agriculture, industry. Monetising a by-product improves project returns.
• Digital control & IoT Online monitoring, predictive maintenance, automated dosing, optimisation of output and gas quality.
• Energy storage (battery/thermal) Peak shaving, better grid response, smoother revenues.

• Agricultural residues (manure, slurry, silage, crop residues)
• Food-industry and biodegradable municipal waste
• Sewage sludge (subject to hygiene and environmental compliance)

A robust feedstock logistics and contracting mix underpins operational stability and ESG value.

• Production: MWh of power/heat, m³ of biomethane per year
• Efficiency: electrical/thermal efficiency, heat-use ratio (%)
• Material flows: tonnes/year of waste processed, local feedstock share (%)
• Environment: t CO₂e avoided/year, methane emissions, digestate quality
• Operations: availability (% uptime), failure rate, OPEX/MWh

• Retrofitting legacy BPS to “biomethane-ready” standards
• Recipe and controls optimisation for stable gas output
• Upgrading installations and preparing for grid injection
• SPV structures for clean reporting and transparent cash flows
• PPA / biomethane offtake preparation for revenue stability

Bottom line: BPS 2.0 blends top-tier tech, data, and circular inputs. It’s an asset with measurable ESG impact and long-term yield.
